Bring it in out of the cold give it a hug and a warm drink. You know it's the right thing to do.

I got an Acorn Electron for Christmas when I was about 8 or so, then an Atari ST when I was 12 or 13 I think. Many joysticks were destroyed playing Sensible Soccer and Prince of Persia!

Weird. I was just a few hours ago thinking about my first computers - ZXs - because someone else, elsewhere, posted about Thorin and it made me remember The Hobbit adventure game.

And to bring it full circle, I saw someone called Thorin on Lit Chat last night!

It went for quite a bit when I sold it on eBay last year too!

Not as much as my Lego yellow castle, but quite a bit

Some items especially rare games go for silly prices.
Lego castle? I didn't have lego as a kid only dolls
